Is Indonesia the Next Hot Emerging Market? Find Out at Private Equity Happy Hour, in New York City

Private Equity Happy Hour Will Bring Together Indonesian Executives and Professionals for an Evening of Networking and Cocktails in New York City, July 17, 6PM-9PM

(June 18, 2012, New York) As reported in IBTimes, Now that Fitch and Moody have upgraded Indonesia’s credit rating to an investment grade economy, the future is looking up for economic growth for Southeast Asia’s largest economy.

With a credit rating now matching India’s, Indonesia’s poor infrastructure, overloaded roads, government corruption and bureaucracy were among the problems Fitch and other economists pointed out as problems needing work. However, if Indonesia fixes the roads by investing in infrastructure, it may not be able to maintain the debt-to-gross domestic product ratio that led to Moody’s decision to upgrade their credit rating in the first place.

For this reason, attracting investors to build new infrastructure is one of the government’s top priorities. Recently, Indonesia passed a bill to speed up land acquisition and give a tax break to investors helping build roads, bridges and ports or invest in base metals and petrochemicals.

The credit upgrades will also decrease the country’s borrowing costs to build at a time when more developed economies have been downgraded because of their countries’ debt. Indonesia has steadily reduced its debt in the past decade to around 25 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP).

The World’ Sexiest Destination for Private Equity Investments

Indonesia: World’ Sexiest Destination for Private Equity Investments

Indonesia’s gross domestic product will increase 6.5 percent in 2012, the World Bank has said, compared with a global average of 2.5 percent. Indonesia’s growth has so far weathered the faltering global economy, helping it regain an investment grade rating for its sovereign debt at Fitch Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service for the first time since the Asian financial crisis. Standard & Poor’s rates Indonesia at BB+, the highest non- investment grade rating, with a positive outlook.

Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that new investors are pushing into Indonesia’s private-equity market; newcomers will compete for deals with global firms such as KKR & Co., Carlyle Group, TPG Capital and CVC Capital Partners Ltd., plus local firms such as Northstar Pacific Partners, Saratoga Capital, Yawadwipa and Falcon House. Firms are now shifting focus to companies that will benefit from growing consumption in the world’s fourth-most populous nation, 240 million people, away from natural resources investments.
